two for the one who sleeps too far away

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother:
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moon beams kiss the sea--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

[Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Love's Philosophy"]

My hands
Open the curtains of your being
Clothe you in a further nudity
Uncover the bodies of your body
My hands
Invent another body for your body

[Octavio Paz, "Touch", trans. by Charles Tomlinson]
